Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a method to stimulate the body to promote self healing. Sterilized, state-of-the-art stainless steel needles that are as fine as a strand of hair are inserted into specific acupuncture points. This triggers and alters various biochemical and physiological conditions to treat a variety of ailments.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine medical theory, illnesses arise when the cyclical flow of Qi in the meridians of the body are unbalanced or blocked. The acupuncture points are located along these meridians and connect to major organs. Different techniques performed on specific acupuncture points can re-balance or unblock the flow of Qi in the meridian system.

Herbal formulas that have been used extensively for thousands of years and proven to work are a major component of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Each herb contains relevant compounds with medicinal properties that are essential to treating specific illnesses. By combining and heating them at specific temperatures and times, these compounds undergo chemical reactions to form new medical compounds to treat the targeted ailments.
All of the herbal products we offer are sourced from China from regions where the herbs are grown with care and not treated with chemicals.
